Great career and a classy individual. He reminds me of Bill Curry the old center for the Pack and Colts, who, just like Saturday, centered to all-time greats. Curry protected John Unitas and Bart Starr, while Saturday snapped to Rogers and Manning. Amazing to think about the coincidental nature of their NFL experiences.

Crosby’s misses cost the team points and field position. He misses 50% of the time.

I’m not saying you replace him with someone on the team but you can’t tell me there isn’t someone out there that’s better than 50%

This isn’t an “either/or” thing – I just find it odd that McCarthy/Campen will do something about one issue but stubbornly refuse to even look at another kicker when the current kicker is the least accurate in the NFL.

And spare me the “most of his misses are from 50 yards out” – he’s now missing from the 30’s and 40’s….

lionsdraftguy: Maybe Mr. Saturday doesn’t deserve to be in the Pro Bowl, however, even though I am not a Packer’s fan, I am certain there is nothing clownish about Jeff Saturday the player or MOST importantly, the person. He has suited up for more than 200 hundred consecutive games and has conducted himself appropriately at all times throughout his entire career. I find it interesting that a fan of the LIONS would call someone like Saturday a “clown.” Perhaps you haven’t heard about the off-season clown college the Lions organization ran this year.

Clown: “To get this opportunity, I just hope I can go out there and make the coaches proud,” said Dietrich-Smith, who repeatedly mentioned the respect he has for Saturday and how much he appreciates the relationship they’ve had this season.

By all accounts, that respect is mutual.

“We’re at two totally different points in our career,” Saturday said. “His is on the up ramp, mine’s on the way out.

“I’ve put the best I can be out there. If that’s not good enough and somebody is better, they deserve to play. I’ve always felt like that. I respect ‘Diety’ enough to say if that’s his, then he needs to take it and go do a good job with it.”

Might be that McCarthy’s thinking long-game…and realizing that by keeping Crosby, he’ll be needing to go for more “4th and short” 1st downs inside the 40-yard line than he is certain Jeff Saturday can deliver.

Discredits PROBOWL voting when a dude only gets in on reputation alone and not solely this seasons performance.

He was awesome in Indy. But looks like a bad call by GB to pay this dude to ride the pine on his twilight years. Good for team in the locker room but on field he’s a liability. Shoot ask him bout that Hawks 8 first half sacks.?
